Loved our room(357) which was a great partial view of the boardwalk and ocean. So awesome to hear the ocean when you are sleeping and looks like a lot of remodeling has been going on. Pool and jacuzzi not done until sometime this month but that is a plus because you can swim and see the ocean and boardwalk. Also...

We are typically a 4-5 star hotel family, but we LOVED Blue Sea! The rooms were clean and modern. We had a partial ocean view on the north side of the hotel. The view was beautiful, but was is a public parking lot and restaurant just below our balcony so it was noisy at times, especially at night. Inside the...

It was great to be right on the ocean beach but the hotel is very old and needs updating. The walls are paper thin and can hear every noise in the adjoining rooms. Horrible whistle from elevator that we could hear all night long. The staff, however, was very friendly and they did do the best they could. The building...

When pulling into the hotel I did not know what to expect, I was a bit iffy looking at the outside of the hotel, however walking into their lobby I was greeted by all the front desk staff who was standing there waiting for me. The front desk staff was amazing. Martina at the desk checked me in to the...

The partial view is great because you don't get street noise. It was mostly a view of rooftops and buildings. We were right by the elevators (#352) and I would not recommend that if you plan to sleep in. The "whistle" at every stop got old.
The hotel has been renovated and they did a great job. It is situated...

Booked this hotel because it is on the beach and it was wonderful. Paid extra for beach front and for us worth it! Hubby doesn't get around too easy so this was a great choice. We could walk to several places to eat and we really enjoyed sitting on the patio and just seeing the ocean from our room; so...

I recently returned form my 3rd trip to San Diego this year. Naturally, there is no where else I would consider staying than the Blue Sea Lodge. The staff is very friendly and polite. The pillow top mattress very comfy. The view can't be beat. You can sit on your balcony and watch the waves and the surfers all day....

I had a very pleasant experience at the Blue Sea Beach Hotel. The room was super clean, with a very confortable bed and mattress. With balconies orientated towards the ocean shore, the partial view gives you a real large view on the beach. The pool was under construction this november, but complimentary access to the hotel pool accross the street...
